Report: NFL Execs Expect Larry Fitzgerald to Retire Before 2021 season

It looks like the end is near for Larry Fitzgerald's Hall of Fame-worthy career.

NFL executives around the league expect the Cardinals wide receiver to retire ahead of the 2021 NFL season, according to The Athletic's Mike Sando.

Fitzgerald, who has played his entire 17-year career with the Cardinals, is currently a free agent, and executives believe if he does not sign with another team, he will retire instead of returning to Arizona, per Sando. The Cardinals have a loaded receiving corps that includes DeAndre Hopkins and offseason acquisition A.J. Green, which likely would limit Fitzgerald's playing time.
